It also establishes the 2-dimensional galactic plane—the plane in which the majority of our disc-shaped galaxy's mass lies. The 14 pulsar lines also have tick marks, which, based on their ...

Pulsar timing leverages observations of ultra-stable cosmic ... of merging galaxies by observing an entire array of pulsars distributed throughout the Galaxy, creating a Galactic-scale ...

Every galaxy has a supermassive black hole at its center, much like every egg has a yolk. But sometimes, hens lay eggs with ...

"There are now many independent lines of evidence that show the galaxy has actually had a highly dynamic history. Tom's analysis of the larger pulsar timing sample shows directly for the first ...

In new research, we have for the first time tracked one of these pulsating signals back to its source: a common kind of lightweight star called a red dwarf, likely in a binary orbit with a white dwarf ...

A new effort to map the rumblings in spacetime caused by enormous black hole collisions paints a surprisingly loud and lopsided picture of the universe.

A spider pulsar is a pulsar with a companion ... Possibly. "Could our galaxy host a kind of fully steerable binary stellar ...

While previous studies have analyzed this possibility by focusing on the infrared spectrum, a new study expands the possible search by introducing new methods for detecting a Dyson ring—an ...

Researchers in Manchester and Germany found it orbiting a millisecond pulsar 40,000 light years away. Millisecond pulsars spin very rapidly - hundreds of times per second. Project lead Ben ...

The newly detected pulsar, designated PSR J1922+37 ... the NASA/ESA/CSA James Webb Space Telescope has detected and "weighed" a galaxy that not only existed about 600 million years after the ...

This NASA/ESA Hubble Space Telescope Picture of the Week features the galaxy LEDA 22057 ... astronomers has reported the discovery of a new pulsar, which received the designation PSR J1631 ...
